Services
Natural burials
Our natural burials use biodegradable coffins in woodland or wildflower meadows. Each burial includes tree planting in woodlands or plaques in meadows, enhancing local ecosystems. Families may attend ceremonies 24/7 at our biodiverse sites.
Ash interment
Biodegradable urns hold ashes buried beneath trees or plaques in natural settings. Available year-round in wildflower meadows, with seasonal woodland options. Services can be attended or unattended, respecting personal preferences.
Memorial tree planting
Plant a memorial tree without burial, accompanied by a Welsh slate plaque. Choose from multiple species suited to the deceased's character. Trees grow in tranquil woodlands, creating lasting natural legacies.
Woodland conservation
Our woodlands boost bird and wildlife habitats through tree planting. Managed for over 500 years, these spaces combine ancestral stewardship with modern conservation. Visitors enjoy seasonal changes and ecological diversity.
Wildflower meadow burials
Wildflower meadows support endangered bees and butterflies. Plaques mark burial sites in vibrant, changing landscapes. Adjacent plots available for family groupings, with year-round burial access.
